My guess is it's Johnson.

If Myles was the guy, then Finley would still have a shot at replacing him in 2022 (same shot Johnson would). Finley has the better arm and he'd have more time to catch up with the mental part of the game.

But if they're already leaning Johnson, then Finley would be completely out of the competition; and since he transferred out, it seems he felt he was.

Of course, none of us are in practices, and who knows how well Myles has healed, but if you look at the data, Max was actually a pretty big downgrade from Myles.

A whole spring makes a difference though. We've got an intelligent staff and O is smarter than he sounds. They'll have both guys ready.

2022-24 should be some of the best QB play LSU has ever seen.

Y'know, looking over O's gobblygook statement, I again wonder if there's a hint about Johnson...
I promise I'm not pushing that!

But at the end, he says something about "based on a feel".

Brennan had better numbers, throws a better ball with more zip, etc. But he was 1-2, with the one win against Vandy. Johnson was still productive, and was 2-0 against arguably much better competition in Florida and Ole Miss.

That may be the "feel"; Brennan's got the arm and puts better numbers up, but Johnson's got some intangible Brennan lacks.

I'm NOT saying that's the case; but if it is, it wouldn't be the first time the "best" QB isn't the guy who puts up the best numbers, or throws the prettiest pass.

FWIW, Brennan has a better arm than Burrow too, though Burrow was good enough.
